My Mr. Mermaid

-Episode 15-

Somebody has already broken your record from last year, and you still have the nerve to laugh?

It's because Tang Yibai has gotten stronger and better, that racing against him makes it more fun.

No way! Coach Wu,

When you were in university, you had a crush on Head Coach Yuan?

What crush? You have to be a man and stop secretly crushing on them!

You gotta make it public!

When your Head Coach Yuan first joined the swimming team, I fell in love at first sight.

So in front of the whole swimming team, I declared,

"Yuan Runmei! I'm telling you, I like you! Do as you see fit!"

And then? What happened between you and Head Coach Yuan after you made that declaration?

What else could I do?

I went to pursue her. It didn't matter how many excuses she gave,

She rejected me so many times, but I still kept pursuing her.

So one day, she finally gave me a chance.

She doesn't like men that are weaker than her. She wanted to have a match with me.

If I could win against her, she would accept me.

Coach Yuan wanted to have a match against you?

Right? Isn't that right? That's what I thought!

How could I lose to a woman?

At first, I thought Yuan Runmei was being shy and just thought of a way to avoid my pursuit.

Oh my God. Bashful?

This.. Is this still the same Head Coach Yuan we know?

And then? What about afterwards?

After...

You lost?

So I made a pledge that, someday I will win over her.

Coach Wu that can't be! You don't have any ambition at all!

Anyhow, you're still a man. How could you make a woman your old enemy?

I might not have ambition, but I have dignity.

Yibai. Promise me that you will never lose to Qi Ruifeng.

Next match, you must

beat Qi Ruifeng and get a better time than him.

I want to let everyone know

that I taught the most outstanding and most strongest athlete!

Good.

Okay, it's time to leave.

Everyone can leave now.

Okay.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Bye Yangyang. -Bye.

Bye-bye.

Yun Duo. How are you getting home today? How about I send you home?

No need. I can take the bus.

Later I have to go to my company to put today's materials away.

Okay.

Yun Duo. It's already this late, will you be okay taking the bus alone?

I'll be fine. Relax.

How about this? I'll take care of Coach Wu, you can send Yun Duo to the bus stop.

Sure.

You don't have to. You're probably tired from the competition today,

you should hurry and go home to rest.

-Then I'll be going. Bye!

-Bye. -Bye. -Bye.

Bye.

Let's go.

I'm okay. I'm okay, I'm okay.

Yibai. Let me ask you. Is it because you can't send her,

that you lost a chance to be with her alone?

Does your heart feel a little hollow?

Coach Wu, why is it that when you're drunk, you can see others more accurately?

This little kid is too obvious.

I was just worried that it would be dangerous for her to take the bus alone.

If it really is like this, then that's great.

Coach Wu, I noticed that right now, you're more gossipy.

Compared to when you're lecturing me, you become Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu?

Who's your Aunt Wu? Huh? Who's your Aunt Wu?

Speaking of mom's,

These days, your mom is constantly calling me.

She said she planned a blind date for you,

but you ditched.

I feel like that's not my problem.

Why do I feel that I'm being blamed for this?

Coach Wu, sorry about that.

It's fine. It's nothing.

I feel like the blind date is fake, your mom just misses you.

Find some time to go back and visit.

Because of family. I want a family.

You want a family? Yibai also wants a family.

Yibai's home is nearby. Since today's competition is over,

let him go home to rest.

Alright. I'll give you a break today.

Come back tomorrow morning.

Ok. Thank you Coach.

That's right.

Coach Wu. Let's go.

Let's go.

Dad? Mom?

I'm back.

No one's home.

Even though you probably can't see my text,

I still want to tell you.

I feel proud to be your lucky charm.

Thank you.

I'm going home right now.

I'm almost home. Don't worry.

That's right. You didn't get your phone taken away today?

I went home today, so Coach Wu gave it back to me.

You're going home today?

After the celebration party today, Coach Wu said I haven't went home in a long time.

He told me to go home to reunite with my family.

Alright. It's getting late tonight. I won't bother you anymore.

Take care.

Let me try a face mask tonight.

I have a lot of mini secrets.

You are both so cute. Which one should I use?

I'll use you.

I'll use you tomorrow.

Oh my God!

Oh my God! What did I see?

Tang Yibai.

Why is Tang Yibai here?

I actually...

You...

-Why are you at my home? -Why are you at my home?

-This is your home? -This is your home?

Yibai.

No way.

You're the new tenant who moved in?

You're the unfilial son that doesn't come home?

I...

I forgot to introduce.

He's my fish-looking swimmer son.

Tang Yibai.

That's right.

Yibai, this beautiful lady is our home's new tenant.

Yun Duo.

How did you know she's called Yun Duo?

Why are you speaking to each other with that tone of voice?

You guys know each other?

Er Bai.. Yibai..

I should've realized a long time ago.

Qi Ruifeng. You must be having a lot of fun?

You rented my room to Yun Duo, are you insane?

That's not it, Yibai.

What are you saying? I don't seem to understand.

Stop acting dumb. This is all because you planned it, isn't it?

No wonder why you kept bothering Coach Wu to give me a break.

What do you mean I planned this out?

Yibai, this is just a coincidence. It's all determined by the universe.

Wait, how did you realize that Yun Duo is living at your house?

Don't tell me, that while she was sleeping, you secretly crawled into her bed?

Qi Ruifeng, just wait and see, you're screwed.

Seeing that you dislike having Yun Duo living at your house this much,

then I'll just tell your mom that.

This way, you can kick Yun Duo out.

What a pitiful girl our Yun Duo is,

The sky is so dark, the wind is very strong,

She's going to become homeless again.

Qi Ruifeng. Fine, this problem has already passed.

Also, can you not stay in touch with my mom?

Fine, fine, fine. Whatever you say is right, happy?

-Bye-bye. -Hey!

Sorry. I didn't know this was your-

It's alright. My mom isn't wrong anyways. All year long, I'm always training.

I can't stay home for too long, so my room isn't really used.

And since it helped you, I'm happy about that.

Thank you.

But, where are you going to sleep tonight? Since I'm occupying your room.

-Oh. I- -Yun Duo. You don't need to worry about him.

Aunty Lu.

Did you come back home because you irritated me to death?

I came back because I was nearby and it was convenient.

You heard him right? It was convenient. He came back because it was convenient.

So basically, you didn't come back to see me right?

I did. Didn't I just say it was convenient?

Fine. Okay. So easy.

It's so easy that it's no sweat. So get out of my sight right this moment.

I don't want to see you for even a minute.

I'm telling you, if you don't get out, either you sleep on the couch, or you sleep on the balcony.

Don't even try thinking about fighting with Yun Duo over her room.

Aunty Lu, that's not good.

I'm alright. I can go find a friend's house to stay over at.

Yun Duo. Don't leave. You're going to stay here.

Don't show sympathy for him. He can only blame himself for this.

Ever since he started attending college,

The amount of times he came back home don't even amount to my ten fingers.

If outsiders didn't know about it, they probably thought I only had one son, Erbai.

Did you hear that? Sleep on the couch!

Oh right. Yun Duo, I forgot to tell you,

This thing. It's so refreshing for the face.

It's so comfy. Try it.

Try it.

Don't leave. Stay.

Yibai.

Tang Yibai.

Go back to your room to sleep.

How can I do that? Didn't you hear my mom? She said to not fight for the room.

Auntie is just kidding.

It's not my first day as his son.

I know if she's being serious or not.

She loves to see me being tortured by her.

Nonsense. When you're not home, I always hear her say

that when you come home, she's going to buy you good food.

She's buying more groceries so that she can give our Erbai more food.

Is that right Erbai? You're most loved in our home.

What are you doing?

I feel like you should go sleep inside.

You have more competitions soon. Sleep is important.

It's fine. It's only one night. Don't worry about it.

Even one night isn't okay. What if you get a stiff neck?

Don't worry really.

-I say no, it's not ok. - I say it's ok.

Tang Yibai. Stop messing around. Listen to me.

What's the big deal for being tall? You only know how to bully me.

That's right. I'm tall so I want to bully you.

You...

I'm not giving it to you.

Stop bullying me.

Tang Yibai.

Stop it.

Dad.

Sorry, sorry. We didn't see anything.

Don't mind us. Continue.

We didn't see anything. You can continue.

It is just getting hot in here. Don't go to the advertisements.

Uncle, aunty. It isn't what you think it is.

That's right. We aren't what you think we are.

What are we thinking?

Hubby, Baby Fei.

Don't you think that their logic isn't understandable?

We didn't say anything.

How do you know what we are thinking?

Unless if they think that we are thinking of what they're thinking of.

-Exactly! -Stop making a fuss.

We're not what you think we are. We're just good friends.

Yeah, we're only good friends.

Good friends?

I understand, I understand. "Good friends".

Okay, it's already pretty late so,

You two can be "good friends", and don't stay up too late.

-Goodnight. -Go and rest up.

Continue, continue.

-"Good friends" -Leave.

Good friends.

Oh my God.

The misunderstanding is bad this time.

Qi Ruifeng. Why would he introduce Tang Yibai's house to me?

So, this used to be where Tang Yibai lived.

This is the table that he used to write his homework on when he was younger?

♫ It’s beautiful. ♫

♫ My meeting with you ♫

These are all the books he read?

♫ is the end of a black and white world. ♫

♫ It’s a wonderful new beginning. ♫

This is the room that Tang Yibai grew up in.

And now, I live in this room.

All these days, I've been living where you used to live in.

I've walked through the hallways that you walked in. I'm living in the room you used to live in.

♫ It’s a heart that is no longer perturbed. ♫

I've sat in the places where you sat.

Breathing the air that you used to breathe.

Lying in the same spot where you slept.

looking at the same ceiling as you.

I just realized how close our distance really was.

♫ Fortunately, with you on my mind, everything has a meaning. ♫

♫ This time, I will not let go. ♫

♫ This time, there is no right or wrong. ♫

♫ Start now, because of your touched heart and smile, ♫

♫ I will believe in the impulse to love. ♫

♫ This time, I must say it outloud. ♫

♫ Forgive my slow retreat. ♫

♫ Start now, because of your existence and reliance on me, ♫

♫ we will not miss out on the future. ♫

Yun Duo. Yun Duo. Yun Duo.

What's with your imagination? Why are you thinking of that?

Calm down. What's going on with me?

Become pure and calm. Yun Duo, I know you aren't that shallow. Calm down. Calm down.

♫ is an intention that doesn’t need to be faked. ♫

Alright. Let's stop thinking about it.

Time to sleep.

♫ Time will not stop. Even if the skies heartlessly change, ♫

♫ I will stay with you. I will embrace you until the end. ♫

♫ The world is so big, even if this lifetime is so small. ♫

♫ Fortunately, with you on my mind, everything has a meaning. ♫

♫ This time, I will not let go. ♫

♫ This time, there is no right or wrong. ♫

♫ Start now, because of your touched heart and smile, ♫

Tang Yibai, what are you thinking about?

♫ This time, I will not let go. ♫

♫ This time, there is no right or wrong. ♫

♫ Start now, because of your touched heart and smile, ♫

♫ I will believe in the impulse to love. ♫

Good morning Auntie Lu.

You're up Yun Duo?

Come have breakfast.

Alright. Let me do that.

Where's Tang Yibai?

He went running early in the morning.

Yun Duo, have a seat.

Yun Duo, I want to ask you.

When did you know my Yibai?

Because I'm a reporter and I'm also in charge of the sport swimming,

I met Yibai when I was interviewing one time.

You interviewed him?

What's so good about him? Interviewing him?

Tang Yibai is very talented and awesome.

That little brat is talented?

He has a bad personality. He's bad with words and he's unfilial.

He only cares about competitions and swimming.

His looks are quite handsome.

That gene is given by me. He's not even grateful.

Auntie Lu, Tang Yibai has a lot of good traits.

For example, he's very righteous.

If he sees someone falling into the water, he will jump in to save them.

He's also very brave. He won't hide from his problems.

I'm sorry for causing all these troubles, but I won't apologize for chasing my dreams.

Being prohibited from competing in these four years allowed me to understand

if one lost their dreams, one is no longer living.

So, I am back.

Especially when he is swimming, he is super hot.

Especially his determination to win.

It makes the crowd all fired up. I'm getting goosebumps just talking about it.

What Auntie Lu? Why are you looking at me like that?

Nothing much.

It's my first time hearing a girl brag about him like that. It's weird.

You just don't know that I yell at him as he grew up.

What's so good about him? He's done so many stupid things.

Tang Yibai would do stupid things?

Of course, let me tell you.

It's so funny just thinking about it.

When he was little, he put on a red cloth.

He thought he was Superman.

He saw a kitty on the tree. He thought he was brave.

So, he went up to save the kitty. But when he got up there, he couldn't get down.

He sat on the tree crying for mommy as his boogers came out.

In the end, his dad came to save him. What would have happened otherwise?

That's so cute.

Mom. What are you talking about?

You've already done it. What's to be embarrassed about?

I'm just telling Yun Duo about it.

Yibai, I've been watching your news these days. You're doing well.

It's alright. It was a bit saddening.

We were only second place in our first competition.

Second place is very good already.

Because that competition wasn't Yibai specialty.

And plus, originally they were falling behind a lot, but Tang Yibai and his momentum reversed it!

It was just that little bit.

It seems quite a waste.

It is a bit a waste, but it's ok. Because afterwards, in his individual race,

He was an unexpected winner that everyone treats him with a whole new level of respect.

Not only did he win the competition, he broke the record.

Good one, son!

Tang Yibai.

Be truthful. Are you dating Yun Duo?

Mom, where did you get that intuition from?

What intuition? I am witnessing it.

Let's not talk about what happened yesterday.

Just now, Yun Duo was speaking for you. The way you look at each other.

Do you think I'm blind?

Baby Fei. Am I right?

That's right. I feel the same.

You see. Your dad sees it too. Admit it.

Mom. When did dad ever oppose your opinion? We really aren't dating.

Auntie. We're really not dating. We're just socializing like usual.

Yun Duo, you know me well. Tell me the truth.

It's fine.

Mom. It's ok to joke around with me.

Don't joke around with Yun Duo.

Alright. I'm not talking to you. I didn't even want to talk to you. I'm talking with Yun Duo.

Is that right, Yun Duo?

Auntie Lu, let's go watch Yibai's next competition.

No. I'm not going. I don't go to his competitions.

Why not?

Yibai's mom is just contradicting herself.

It's not that she doesn't want to, she's afraid to go.

Afraid to go?

Think about it. If she goes.

If she sees Yibai win, she'll feel hurt that Yibai will continue to train even harder.

If she sees Yibai lose, she'll feel hurt because Yibai is sad.

Don't listen to him. I won't feel hurt.

I don't watch him compete because I didn't even want him to swim in the first place.

You didn't want him to swim?

Why do I have to agree with him?

Since he started swimming, I lost my son.

Other sons would go home during winter break.

my son goes swimming during the breaks.

I barely see him in a year.

Are you mad? Don't be mad. I'll be hurt.

Eat up.

Yun Duo. I still have to say this.

That's why I hope a girl like you can be by Yibai's side.

You're caring and understanding.

You can take care of him and understand him. Mom.

You understand me right? Mom, eat a bun. I'm not eating a bun.

Mom, eat all the buns. They're very good.

Are you trying to stuff me up, little brat?

Eat up.

Erbai.

Darling, I'm heading to work.

Yibai. Darling, do me a favor.

At your service, mom.

I'm not feeling well today.

My arms are sore.

I can't even hold it up.

Help me take Erbai out.

Take him to poo.

Alright.

Yun Duo, how about waiting for Yibai?

He's taking Erbai out for a walk.

Go out together, alright?

Alright. Erbai.

Erbai, I'm going to watch him.

Mom, why are you being so obvious? Others would feel uncomforatable.

What's so uncomfortable?

I just want you two to be together. It pleases me.

Hurry and go. Erbai needs to go very badly.

You must be together. Be together.

Don't forget Erbai needs to poo.

Erbai. Erbai. Erbai.

Go play by yourself.

Go ahead.

Yun Duo, don't bother with what my mom said.

She gets along with Qi Ruifeng

because they are both unnormal people.

I like Auntie Lu even though she seems like she misunderstood us.

It's Tang Yibai.

Excuse me, are you Tang Yibai?

I am.

It's really you. I saw you on tv yesterday.

My friend and I really admire you.

Thanks.

Can we take a picture with you?

Sure.

Let me see.

I can post it on social media later.

He's better looking in real life.

Thank you.

Thanks. Bye bye.

Bye bye.

What is it?

Nothing. It seems like more people know you and like you.

I feel happy. It's good.

You're happy? I feel a bit sad.

Why are you sad?

When they were taking pictures with me, I realized we knew each other for a long time now.

Even random people want to take pictures with me, you didn't even mention about it.

♫ A long time ago, we seemed to live in two parallel lines. ♫

I already said it like this. Are you going to express anything?

♫ The occasional loneliness is a trouble in everyone’s hearts. ♫

Tang Yibai. Tang Yibai. Can I take a picture with you?

No problem.

♫ I suddenly ran into you. We met at the corner elevator. ♫

♫ I fell in love with you in this good weather. ♫

It's not good. Half of your face is cut off.

It's not complete, maybe my arm is too short.

Let me take it.

♫ I'm gonna love you. I flipped open the calendar. ♫

♫ The day I casually chose has no obstructions. ♫

♫ I fell in love with you in this beautiful weather. ♫

♫ I really hope I haven’t spent all of my luck, ♫

♫ so I can see you again. ♫

It seems like you're blushing.

No. It's just too hot.

It looks good. Send it to me later.

Alright. I'll send it to you on the bus.

Isn't your phone taken away by Coach Wu?

Don't worry.

I took it when he was drunk.

You're such a theft.

Let's go, let's go. ♫ Am I embarrassed ♫

♫ Or am I interested in you? ♫

♫ I fell in love with you in this good weather. ♫

♫ I'm gonna love you. Where are you going? ♫

Be careful.

-Bye bye. -Bye bye.

♫ I flipped open the calendar. ♫

♫ I'm gonna love you. I flipped open the calendar. ♫

♫ I fell in love with you in this beautiful weather. ♫

♫ I really hope I haven’t spent all of my luck, ♫

♫ so I can see you again. ♫

That's weird. Why do I want to see her already? She just left.

♫ Now that I think about it, it’s surely luck. I prayed (waited) for a long time. ♫

♫ Maybe it’s a miracle. ♫

♫ I adjusted my mood. I put on makeup to look beautiful (I love your beauty). ♫

♫ I’ve decided to like you. ♫

♫ I'm gonna love you. Where are you going? ♫

♫ The phone signal within three kilometers is at full strength. ♫

♫ I'm gonna love you. I flipped open the calendar. ♫

♫ The day I casually chose has no obstructions. ♫

♫ I fell in love with you in this beautiful weather. ♫

♫ I really hope I haven’t spent all of my luck, ♫

♫ so I can see you again. ♫

He's so handsome.

He looks different when smiling.

-He's so handsome. -Bookworm. -He's the future star.

He's perfect. How can we be his girlfriend?

The school has been crazy over Tang Yibai. His name is already the most searched.

It's ok. He won't be as popular as me.

Tang Yibai behaves well, can deal with matters, and is mature. In comparison,

Qi Ruifeng is like a kid.

Who's a kid?

I'm heart-warming, Yibai is cold-hearted, can't you tell the difference?

Yibai.

Why are your fans like this? Do something about them.

Where's Tang Yibai's classroom?

Look at his body.

His abs.

Did you know this video of Tang Yibai

is over millions of views?

I watched it so many times.

Fangirl!

I am a fangirl.

You're popular in no time, but if you want to stay popular,

you need to learn from me. But you can also ask me.

I can teach you. Yibai! Yibai!

Wait a second. Do you guys want an autograph or selfie?

I really like you.

-Tang Yibai, this is my WeChat ID. -My phone number.

This is my address. I'm sorry.

-Tang Yibai. -Mom.

Son, I've finally found you.

Did you hear him calling me mom?

That's right. I'm Tang Yibai's mom.

-QQ, you little brat. -Hi Auntie.

Let me tell you. I'm happy to meet you.

Let me hold this for my son.

Mom.

Did you know that my son already has a girlfriend?

It's fine.

You are all so young.

It's ok to make some more friends.

It's nice to meet you. Come visit when you have time.

♫ It's beautiful. ♫

♫ My courage to love you ♫

♫ is an intention that doesn’t need to be faked. ♫

♫ It’s a heart that is no longer perturbed. ♫

♫ Time will not stop. ♫

♫ Even if the skies heartlessly change, ♫

♫ I will stay with you. I will embrace you until the end. ♫
